“They went to the residence, knocked on the front door,” said Commander Kevin Kraus, of Pittsburgh Police. “At that time, they heard a woman inside yelling frantically, ‘Don’t shoot. Don’t shoot.'”

Lawrence fled the home through the back door while wearing a bullet-proof vest and a foot pursuit ensued. Lawrence jumped over a fence and ran onto North Murtland Street.

He was eventually arrested on the porch of a home in the 1500-block of North Murtland Street.

Police searched Lawrence and uncovered crack cocaine and cash along with a camouflage mask and gloves. Police then searched the Chaucer Street residence and found an AK-47. A bag of ammunition was found nearby.

“They went back and cleared the residence and found what appeared to be an AK-47 and some AK-47 type ammunition laying on the floor by the back door where he ran out,” said Commander Kraus.

Lawrence has been charged with two counts of criminal homicide and was transported to the Allegheny County Jail.
